This is a simple python script that connects to the Twitter streaming api and searches for keywords.

This app requires a Twitter App Key and OAuth tokens, which it will read from the following environment variables:

• TWITTER_APP_KEY
• TWITTER_APP_SECRET
• TWITTER_OAUTH_TOKEN
• TWITTER_OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET

I stick these in ~/.twitter, and run source ~/.twitter prior to running the filter.

The filter requires two parameters:

1. A search Query, and
2. A path to a text file. Matching tweets will be appended to this file.

Example usage:

$ source ~/.twitter && python filter/main.py "search query" /path/to/tweets.txt
